Does anyone ever feel like the rest of the world takes their lives way more seriously than you do? Everyone I know seems deeply concerned with their taxes, relationships, social standing, property, career, future, etc, as if they're on an important mission, whose reward is ???
Don't get me worng. I go to work and pay my bills. I love my fiancee. I just don't seem to have the grave intensity about my own affairs that I witness others exhibiting about things as trivial as a scratch on their car. I'm pleased to find myself alive each day, and try to plan fun, interesting things to do and have. I don't feel that they're of much importance to other people, and I don't give that impression.
It's hard to describe, but it's like everyone else has some syllabus to life and they're earnestly going through the list trying to get an A, while I'm just doodling in the margins of my notebook (and I'm happy that way). As usual, though, I feel like I'm missing something, and it'll bite me in the ass later, when everyone else turns in their term papers and I get an F. But what?
